Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)

  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together oats, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt.

  • Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

  • Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut.

  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm.

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter for a smoother mix — if it’s too thick, warm it slightly in the microwave.

  • Toast the oats lightly in a pan for extra flavor and a slight crunch.

  • Mix wet ingredients first before adding dry ingredients — this makes blending easier.

  • Chill the dough for 10 minutes before rolling if it’s too sticky.

  • Swap ingredients easily: try dried cranberries, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for fun twists!
